## AI 摘要

AI初创公司Lindy已完全弃用Anthropic的Claude，转而使用中国公司DeepSeek的模型（在美国境内托管）。CEO Flo Crivello向CNBC表示，其25人公司的AI成本此前“不可持续”，甚至超过人员开支；切换后成本曲线“直接跌到地面”，节省了数百万美元。Crivello称若Anthropic降价会考虑换回，因为“这关乎企业生存”。Snowflake CTO分析显示，GLM-5.2等中国模型虽未完全达到Claude水平，但在性价比上具有竞争力。OpenAI CEO Sam Altman也指出，AI成本已成为企业的“巨大问题”。

Anthropic better get moving on its IPO. OpenAI apparently already missed its optimal window and postponed. Now even Anthropic's explosive growth could come under pressure as companies tighten AI spending and turn to cheaper Chinese alternatives.

AI startup Lindy is a case in point: CEO Flo Crivello ditched Claude entirely for Deepseek, hosted by a US company on US soil. The cost curve "crashed to the ground," saving millions, he told CNBC. AI costs for the 25-person startup had been "unsustainable," exceeding personnel costs. Crivello said he'd switch back if Anthropic cut prices: "It's a matter of survival for the business."

A recent analysis by Snowflake's CTO showed that affordable Chinese models like GLM-5.2 don't quite match Claude but are competitive and easily win on the price-performance ratio depending on the task. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman recently said that AI cost became a "huge issue" for companies with the recent switch to agentic systems burning through tokens.
